INTD 610 - Seminar on Secondary School Mathematics and Pedagogy

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 3
Non-Lecture: 0

This course, which is intended for the graduate student enrolled in the M.S. in Education - Mathematics program, has two major components: (1) to provide a bridge between the college level mathematics required of the mathematics major and the mathematics in the secondary school curriculum and (2) to provide the first part of the integrated capstone experience of the program (the second part is the research project). The major focus of the course will be on selected mathematical topics from the secondary school curriculum and the pedagogical implications of instruction in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in the content area as well as strategies for modifying content for use with students having special needs.
